台湾主持人张善为

最近在网上看到了张善为的报导。原来这位台湾知名的主持人腰部脊椎里有血块，在2013年11月16日时突然发觉腿部没有知觉，之后的三年至今都瘫痪在床。虽然没有他的出生时间，但是单从他的生日，以印度占星术的角度就能看得出病根。张善为是在阳历1975年8月7日出生于台湾苗栗。以下是那天的星盘：

这盘里的火星(Mars)和土星(Saturn)都弱得要命。而且也被两个灾星（罗睺-Rahu与计都-Ketu）给紧紧的盯上，处于一种严重的负面状态。从以下的表可知道火星代表了筋，头，骨髓，等等。土星则代表神经系统，关节，脊椎，腿部。

2013-2014年是刚好他走到土星(Saturn)的bhukti (相等于八字的小限)的时候，所以问题自然而然就出现在他的脊椎和腿部上。今年2017他将进入另一个bhukti,希望病情会有好转。

The Importance of Auspicious Timing Part 3 (based on Vedic Astrology)

For this third part, I would like to talk about a case study that was taken from a Bazi (a form of Chinese astrology) book written by a Hong Kong master. The case is rare as most Bazi books do not show the actual birth timing but instead show only the eight characters derived from the birth time.

The Analysis:

Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu are the functional malefics in this chart. Moon is the main determinant for health in this chart. Although it is well placed in the 7^th House, Moon is severely afflicted by Jupiter. Jupiter being the 6^th Lord is the secondary determinant for health and it is weak itself. The reason being its mooltrikona sign is directly afflicted by Ketu. Based on these observations alone, we know for sure anyone born at this timing will suffer poor health for life. Moon is also a significator for mental health and it is severely afflicted as mentioned before. The determinant for intellect is Venus which is in 10^th House and combusted by the Sun. The 4th House for intellect is also afflicted by Ketu by 1 degree. Only Mercury (the other significator of mental health) is safe and well placed in the 11^th House. The direct affliction by Ketu residing in the 2^nd House also brings problems related to the mouth or speech.

The Reality: The boy (now a man since he will be 28 years old this year) was born a mute with low IQ.

If only the birth timing was calculated beforehand and adjusted accordingly, the health implications would have been potentially prevented.

The Importance of Auspicious Timing Part 2 (based on Vedic Astrology)

In my previous article, I shared on why auspicious timing is important for major events in our life. The example I used shows the negative effects of an inauspicious timing used for wedding. This time, we take a look at how the birth timing of a child is crucial for his/her health. The following is an actual chart of a 9 year old boy who was born in an inauspicious timing.

The Analysis:

The functional malefics in this chart are Mercury, Rahu and Ketu. So the first obvious thing we can see is that the 4^th and 10^th house is badly and strongly afflicted by Mercury. Since the 4^th house represents basic education, the child will have great difficulty completing his basic education. The 10^th house represents his career and hence he will also face great obstacles in that aspect when he grows up later on.  The Ascendant lord (Venus), which is the determinant for health, conjuncts closely with the functional malefic (Mercury), resulting in poor health and tendency for serious illnesses due to the close affliction of 2 degrees. The 5^th Lord, Saturn, represents his intellect and it is well placed and strong in the 11^th house. However, if we look at the other significators of mental abilities (Moon and Mercury) it is actually quite bad. Mercury is weak as it is residing in an afflicted house (Mercury itself is causing the affliction as it is 2 degrees from the most effective point of the 4^th House). The Moon is extremely weak due to extreme old age. Also, the determinant for marriage (Mars) is closely afflicted by Rahu and thus his chance of getting married is very low. Mars rules courage and initiatives and hence these will be lacking in the child as well.

In summary, we can see that the child will have lifelong health issues, relating to his intellect and mind. This will in turn have negative impact on his basic education, job and even chance of marriage.

The Reality: This chart belongs to a child who was diagnosed with autism at 4 years old and is currently attending a special school. Given that his Saturn is strong, well placed and unafflicted, there may be improvement in bhukti of Saturn.

Nonetheless, the above case study illustrates the importance of choosing a timing for caesarean child birth rather than taking chances through natural birth since the situation can be clearly foretold by the astrological chart. While there will be parents who would never consider a caesarean delivery, the implications can have a lifelong impact on both the parents and child. In cases where due to medical reasons the doctor strongly recommends caesarean delivery, then wouldn’t it be better to choose a good timing to do so.
